1. Who Are We?

Text4Wheels.com connects people with automotive dealers and lenders who may be able to help with financing or vehicle purchases. We are not a lender or dealer ourselves. Instead, we operate as a lead generation and marketing platform. Our role is to collect information you provide and match you with third parties who may assist with your vehicle financing or purchasing needs.

2. What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you use our Service. It does not cover the practices of third-party lenders, dealers, or service providers, whose privacy policies may differ. Once you begin communicating directly with a third party, their policies will govern your information.

  • Device & Browsing Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, and interactions with our website.
  • Public Records: Where relevant, we may collect information from publicly available sources.

Purposes of Use:

  • To match you with lenders and dealers.
  • To communicate with you about offers or opportunities.
  • To comply with legal obligations.
  • To analyze and improve our website and marketing.
  • To provide personalized advertisements and content.

4. When and Why We Share Information

We may share your information under these circumstances:

  • With Lenders/Dealers: To connect you with potential financing or purchasing opportunities.
  • With Service Providers: To help us operate our business (e.g., hosting, analytics, customer support).
  • For Legal or Safety Reasons: To comply with legal obligations or protect against fraudulent or harmful activity.
  • During Business Transactions: If we undergo a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
  • With Your Consent: As directed by you.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Like many websites, we use cookies, web beacons, and similar tools to collect browsing and device information. These help us:

  • Remember your preferences.

6. Do We Sell or Share Information?

We may share certain information with our partners (such as lenders, dealers, or advertising networks) in ways that may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under some state privacy laws. You may opt out by contacting us (see Section 15).

7. Protecting and Transferring Your Information

We take reasonable technical, administrative, and physical measures to safeguard your data. However, no system can guarantee complete security. If you are accessing our Service outside the U.S., you consent to your information being transferred and processed in the United States.

8. Data Retention

We retain your information only as long as needed to provide the Service, meet legal obligations, or for legitimate business purposes. Data may be anonymized or aggregated for research and analytics.

11. Sensitive Information

In limited cases, we may process sensitive personal information (such as credit-related data) to fulfill your requests or as permitted by law. You may limit this use by contacting us.

12. Financial Incentives

We do not provide financial incentives in exchange for your data.

13. Do Not Track & Global Privacy Control

Our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals. However, we recognize Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals, which may automatically opt you out of certain data-sharing practices.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When changes are made, the “Effective Date” at the top of the page will be updated. Continued use of the Service indicates your acceptance of the revised policy.
